Right now, you are probably imagining the sound effects and hearing that “whomp whomp” [...]

New Overhead Scrolling Shooter, Plasma Sky, Blasts Onto Google Play and iTunes
March 18th, 2013 triverse Overhead scrolling shooters, once a proud genre with their close cousing- the side scrolling shooter, is almost an endangered species of gaming. Sure, we get the occasional retro release from Capcom (how many times can fans be expected to buy yet another copy of any of the 194x series?), but fans want new original action. [...]

Editorial: Are Mobile Gamers Spoiled by Low Prices and Throw Away Content?
February 18th, 2013 triverse In today’s mobile gaming market there seems to be a rift growing within the gaming community between gamers that want games to stay as close to free as possible and game publishers wanting to make as much money as possible off of their hard work. Many would argue this rift has been there since the [...]

Brick Wars for iOS Coming (Think Space Invaders Bullet Hell and You Will Be Close)
January 12th, 2013 triverse Talk about a game that is so simple that it makes you wonder why someone didn’t think of it before, that is what Brick Wars is.

Review: Blazing Star by SNK Playmore on the JXD S601 Android Hand Held
January 5th, 2013 triverse The Neo Geo, a system that not many owned but many know about and probably wanted (who didn’t want arcade perfect home games?). The price was the biggest hurdle for many gamers back in the day and with a recent relaunch of the basic idea of the system, more gamers will probably get to enjoy [...]
3 Pinball Games Worth Your Time on Android
January 1st, 2013 triverse Pinball is a genre that I never really got into growing up, partly because of the high cost of entry and the speed in which the game was over (a buck for three chances was NOT a good deal to a youngster that could own Strider for a good 10 minutes on a single quarter). [...]
Review: Super Laser: The Alien Fighter by EpicForce Entertainment on the Zeepad 7″ ICS Android Tablet
December 29th, 2012 triverse Remember playing Rayforce and discovering the damage inducing lock on weapon and how cool it was to have TWO weapons at once that operated separately? Super Laser by EpicForce Entertainment brings that secondary weapon style of offense to Android and it is just as cool here as it was in Taito’s retro title (Rayforce is [...]
Android – Dreamcast Deja Vu Part 1: The Situation
December 24th, 2012 triverse It is quite a hot debatable topic, why the Sega Dreamcast died so quickly and resolutely as far as commercial publishers are concerned. One of the popular reasons is, quite simply, piracy. Sega made some effort at keeping the Dreamcast unique and hard to break into but crackers and hackers will do as they do [...]
Preview: Pitfall! on Android As Endless Runner
December 22nd, 2012 triverse Growing up, playing the Atari 2600 was a thing of joy, other than it we had to go outside if we wanted to play any type of “game”. While I would wait for my father to get home from working at a sheet metal shop, I would pass the time after finishing homework by playing [...]
Review: Battlefriends at Sea on the Zeepad 7 Inch Android ICS Tablet
December 15th, 2012 triverse Growing up I was pretty depraved as far as board games go, my family was not that close knit to play them amongst ourselves and none of my friends were into them either (we were what is known as “The Nintendo Generation”). Games for us were electronic or outside, none of this sitting at a [...]
